Over the 98 years of its existence, International Movement of Catholic Students Pax Romana IMCS has engaged in the constant rediscovery of its role and relevance in the ever changing Social, Political, Economic, Cultural and Spiritual context of the world. In its effort of standing true to its commitment of establishing a world with Peace and Justice, it has encountered multiple fold of growth in systemic and structural oppression of individuals and communities; increased disparity in the distribution of wealth particularly in relation to transferring of public ownership of natural resources to private entities, anti-people economic policies, disparity in income, pseudo structural adjustment initiatives; increased fragmentation & Polarization of communities & normalization of violence in the name of security, nationality, religion, race/ethnicity, culture etc., through heavy militarization, arming of civilians, legitimizing patriarchy and communal hatred; reduction of value of human life and productivity to mere economic exchange. 

On the other hand, IMCS has also witnessed the unrelenting struggles of individuals, communities, movements and institutions to create pro-people processes and alternatives. Some of such initiatives/struggles have also been partnered/spearheaded by IMCS both locally and globally through its Empowerment programs, Actions and Solidarity. 

However, we have realized that the humongous task of building a world of Justice and Peace needs an intensive and multifaceted strategic response. Hence, we propose a Global initiative, towards building Global IMCS Leadership through strategic Empowerment; initiating appropriate and adequate Action and Solidarity for contributing towards building a world of justice and peace across the globe.
